from the top of the support structure to the ceiling
above Insert 60 may be no less than 60
½” (1537mm). See Fig. 5 on page 5 for support
structure information.
The face of the support structure should be covered
with non-combustible materials only. Simply add the
height of the support structure to the non-combustible
material height shown in Fig. 6 on page 5. For exam-
ple: If the support structure is 12” (305mm) high, add
12” (305mm) to the 10 7/8” (276mm) non-combustible
limit for the lower portion of the enclosure.
CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
For proper draft and best performance, the chimney
should extend at least 15’ (4.6m) and not more than
35’ (10.6m) above the level of the RAIS Insert 60
hearth. The chimney must be properly installed and
supported in accordance with the chimney manufac-
turer’s instructions. The enclosure is not intended to
support the entire weight of the chimney. Support
components are available from the chimney manufac-
turer.
If possible, an installation with a straight vertical chim-
ney will provide the best draft and will be easiest to
clean.
If a straight chimney is not possible due to obstruc-
tions, up to four 30° elbows may be used to offset the
chimney around the obstructions. The elbows must
be used in pairs in order to return the chimney to ver-
tical after passing the obstruction. The first offset
must be at least 8’ (2.5m) above the Insert 60 hearth.
The Insert 60 Fireplace Insert Enclosure is approved
for installation in the United States with the following
chimneys:
The listed chimney and their manufacturers are:
Metal Fab, Inc. Model TG
Security Chimneys
Model ASHT
Selkirk Metalbest
Model Ultra-Temp
Simpson-Dura-Vent
Model Dura-Plus (SDP)
In Canada, the Insert 60 Fireplace Insert Enclosure is
listed for use with any 150mm diameter chimney sys-
tem tested and listed to the High Temperature
(650°C) Chimney Standard, ULC S-629.
NOTE: THE ANCHOR/BASE PLATE DIMENSIONS
MAY NOT BE GREATER THAN 305mm X 305mm.
The chimney installation begins with a base plate or an-
chor plate mounted to the top of the Fireplace Insert En-
closure. Before the base plate is installed on the enclo-
sure top, the flexible stainless steel flue connector
(provided with the enclosure) that will connect the Insert
60 to the chimney system must be attached to the base
plate using the four provided sheet metal fasteners. See
Fig. 1. Next, insert the anchor plate/flex connector as-
sembly down through the hole in the top of the enclosure.
Use the four provided sheet metal fasteners to secure the
base/anchor plate to the enclosure top.
Next slide the stainless steel 45° slip connector elbow all
the way onto the stainless flex connector in preparation
for installing the Insert 60. Note: Do not use the black
45° elbow that is shipped with the Insert 60.
COMBUSTIBLE FRAMING
The Insert 60 Fireplace Insert Enclosure is designed with
spacers on the side and back surfaces that prevent the
enclosure walls from coming in contact with adjacent
combustible materials that are used for framing around
the enclosure. In addition, the top of the enclosure in-
cludes a standoff that prohibits the header for the com-
bustible construction above the enclosure from being in-
stalled too close the heat from the Insert 60, enclosure
top and chimney. Under no circumstances should the
spacers or standoff be modified. REDUCTIONS TO ANY
OF THE REQUIRED CLEARANCES MAY RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH.
